Caroline was born on 17 May 1768 at Braunschweig (Brunswick) in Germany, daughter of Karl William, Duke of Brunswick-Wolfenb?ttel and Princess Augusta of the United Kingdom, eldest sister of King George III. She married the British king's eldest son, her first cousin, on 8 April 1795 at St. James's Palace in London. Her new husband, the future George IV then Prince of Wales, regarded Caroline as unattractive and unhygienic; he also suspected that she was not a virgin when they married. For her part, she found him equally unattractive, and the prince's correspondence reveals that the couple only had sexual intercourse three times during their marriage. Princess Charlotte Augusta, George's only legitimate child, was born from one of these unions on 7 January 1796. The Prince and Princess of Wales never lived together afterwards, and appeared separately in public.
